??MsI G4Ti4600/4400/4200 card??

Hello,
I bought my G4ti4400 card in June 2002, and it stopped working after 3 or so months later.  ;(  
Anyways, I'm having it RMAed this week, and I was wondering:
How long have you guys had you card without it going screwy? I mean, who has had their card without it having to be RMAed? or who has RMAed several times?
I just wanna know if there is an expiration date on these MSI cards that I don't know about.
Also... I've noticed that MSI does not sell the 4400 model anymore... Does this mean that if they can't fix my card they will send my somthing like a 4600?
Probably just a stupid question.  :P
Me and my nowhere questions!  :D

Nha, no expiry dates on these babies :D . I am currently using my GF3 for about 8 months now and it's still going smooth except for the cooling fan on top. The fan gives off a kind of scratchy sound once in a while like someone is dragging a cardboard box full of books across hardwood floor 8) .
And no, I don't think they will send you a Ti4600 to replace a Ti4400. MSI has them in stock, they are just not selling them to retailers. Right now, they will probably just test your card, and if it is proven defective, they will just pack a new one and send it back to you. Fixing the stuff on the board costs labour and it's more difficult than just replacing it .

  • MSI nVidia GeForce 4200 TI driver problem

    Hi.. I really need your help guys..
    First of all, I have Windows XP Pro.
    Okay, I have this MSI nVidia GeForce 4200 TI card, and wanted to change drivers.
    I had 50.xx, and wanted to change back to 40.xx, because it works better with Counter-Strike.
    So, I went into Device Manager and went into the video card properties -> driver.
    I pressed the 'Uninstall driver', because you need to uninstall the newer driver if you want to install an older driver.
    Then my computer restarted, and when it was booting, a blue screen or something came up, with text about my computer was deleting and scanning some files(?).
    I don't know what it was uninstalling excatly, but when I got into Windows I had to use a 'VGA driver' or something..
    I tried to install the 40.xx driver, double clicked the Setup.exe but when it was begining to install this error came up: 'An error occured while launching the setup. (0x80040702)'.
    I don't know what it means, but I can't install any drivers for nVidia?!
    I tried the Device manager, and I can't update the 'VGA' ..
    It's like my computer isn't recognizing the card or something.. I've tried 'Add new hardware' and everything.
    Please help me!
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S. My PC specs:
    Intel Pentium4 2.0GHz
    Some IBM mainboard
    512DDR
    GeForce 4200 TI
    Windows XP Pro

    Generally for nVidia drivers for the VGA, is what I explained above by going to Add Remove programs in control panel and look for the entry for nVidia display drivers.
    Since you are asking me this, I fear you may not be at the experience level required to do this as it can be somewhat of a nightmare if all the drivers are not removed completely. This is what you just experienced.
    Look at the top of this forum and you will se an Important thread called driver cleaner, by Bonz and then the one above it by me. Go to the DriverHeaven Website and download the DC utility but make sure you read EVERYTHING and understand it before you proceed. If you are confused or not comfortable, then I suggest finding someone that is experienced enough to do it for you.
    It should be pretty straightforward.
    Good luck

  • Msi GeForce 4 4200 frame rate locked at 60 with Windows 2000

    Lost here..... I have an MSI Geforce 4 4200 120MB Video Card slotted on an Asus A7V motherboard - AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz processor with 640mb of ram.
    There is a common problem with the Nvidia chip and Windows 2000 in regards to a lock frame rate at 60fps within games.
    I've tried several programs to fix this i.e. "Refresh Lock", "Windows 2000/XP Nvidia Refresh rate lock", "PowerStrip 3.15" and "NVFresh Tool 1.0"
    But nothing seems to work. I'm sure these program work with older Nvidia cards but not with GeForce 4.
    Any Ideas? I even turned the Vsync off and on.
    HELP!

    p-fulla, I'm not to sure about your system and Windows XP but check out these tweeking sites.

    (A little advice: If you can, dump XP and install a copy of Windows 2000 second edition. They both have the same KERNAL but I find that Win 2000 is much more compatible for now. I give XP 2 more years before it's the OS for all. I've reinstalled 6 systems with Windows 2000 because of compatibility problems.)

  • MSI GF ti 4200 - picture not sharp

    Just bought a new MSI Gf4 Ti 4200 8X / 128 MB (MS-8894) .
    Works fine but seems there are some problem with the graphic quality .....
    The picture quality seems not as sharp as my ASUS GF 3 Ti 200. The MSI picture seems a bit blur compare to my ASUS which is christal clear. This picture refer to window desktop background.
    Run 3D Mark and score 11,297 ... seems ok for a P4 2.66 machine......
    Does anyone out there know what went wrong with my MSI graphic card  ???

    I dont know exactly what is your problem?
    But if other OS is OK, this pretty much a driver issue.

  • MSI FX5700 128TD vs. MSI FX5600 Ultra VTD128 vs. MSI G4Ti4600 VTD

    can someone test these 3 cards and make a compare result?
    comparing performance, image quality
    of course PC components must be the same at each tested card
    VGA cards: MSI FX5700 128TD
                     MSI FX5600 Ultra VTD128
                     MSI G4Ti4600 VTD

    TT*6

    Thanks a lot friends.
    Every thread i created was about FX5700 because i own this card and thought that i made a wrong decision with that card -MSI FX5700 TD128- now i know it was a good buy.
    Only 1 question left: why is the fill rate of FX5700 so poor and at G4TiSeries so high-2x much, does it have affect in compare to G4TiSeries?

  • Msi KT3 MoBo / MSI geForce4 TI 4200 Problem

    Hello, hopefully someone can help me.  I am having a rather unusual problem.  Least I think it is.  I have a MSI kt3 ultra2 motherboard, 512 meg ddr 2100 crucial ram.  AMD XP 2000+ CPU and an MSI Geforce4 TI4200 video card.  First of all, what agp settings should i use?  4x? 2x?.  Secondly, should i enable agp fast writes?  And last, what are the other 2 settings in the agp setup in the bios which are like 1/2 or 2/3?
    I also ran mad onions 3d mark 2001 SE and got a score of 4898!  This seems a little low to me.  Comparing online, I should be getting scores rannging from 9000 to 13000.  I have installed Nvidia Detonator drivers but they are the latest beta drivers.  Are these bad drivers?  None of my games ever freeze except for Soldier of Fortune 2.  It slows way down and when i ctrl+alt+del, it says i am using 100% cpu usage.  Can anyone help me?  I just want my system i bought a week ago to run at its full potential and have nowhere else to turn.  

    I am using Windows XP Pro.  I am running the 3d Mark 2001 SE with a 1024 resolution and no AA.  I am also using a 32bpp color depth.  The defaults when you load the program up for the first time basically.  I never did get a patch for SOF II although I should have.  Man do I fell like such a n00b.
    Hey Jamie B, you said i should "disable support for advanced cpu controls is NOT checked".  Where is that at?
    Thanks to all who have replied. :D   I appreciate it.

  • MSI pc54g2 wireless pci card - unable to install drivers

    I have just purchased a wireless pci card (MSI PC54G2) and the Billion 7402VGP and am now trying to install the two. My problem (so far) is with the pci card ...
    I have followed the manufacturers install instructions but continue to get the following message each time the drivers try to install
    "There was a problem installing this hardware
    Network Installer
    An error occurred during the installation of this divice
    The data is not valid"
    I've since searched the net for answers (no luck); gone to the MSI site and downloaded the latest software (still no luck); searched various forums and removed and reinstalled the card several times (again no luck).
    The closest(?) I've come to anything is that some pci cards require pci slots with v2.2 not v2.1. The MSI details for this card does not say anything about this, however I'm running a P4 Intel D850MV board which from what I can find is V2.2.
    Does anyone have any ideas that may help?
    many thanks in anticipation

    Hi:
    In order for me to provide the drivers you need except for the two I posted for you, you will need to click on each device needing drivers and post the hardware ID for them.
    If you do not know where to find the hardware ID, please use the guide at the link below.

  • BIOS Update for the MSI GTX670 Power Edition Card

    There is a Bios update for the MSI GTX670 PE video card but it's for a hybrid card. What is meant by a hybrid card and how do I know if this applies to my video card? Any help would be appreciated in advance. Thank you. I do know that I can't for some reason or another install the Msi Update program for this card. It keeps saying that you have to be the administrator and Iam the administrator on my system. I do not understand.

    You can use windows version of it to flash it:
    >>Download NVFLASH for windows<<
    syntax from cmd:
    nvflash -4 -5 -6 myrom.rom [ENTER]
    where myrom.rom will be your vbios file

    Use the attached. TV271MH.301
    To flash create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
    Unpack the provided archive (TV271MH.301.rar) and put the included file (TV271MH.301) on that stick.
    Rename the vbios files to .rom (e.g. one to 301.rom).
    Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
    Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 301.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

  • MSI Wireless 11g PCI Card(PC54G2) problem

    I have a Msi wireless 11g PCI Card (PC54G2) installed on my desktop pc Lately i have been experiencing very bad connectivity between my pc and the access point i have installed in my house(MSI Wireless 11g Access Point AP54G). Whenever i connect i have either low or poor connection. My brother has a laptop with built in wifi and he gets excellent connectivity so there is nothing wrong with the access point. I have even tried connecting with my pc right next to the AP but still i have the same problem. Please tell me how i can solve this problem, also if there is any way i can get a replacement antenna for my card if that is the problem or any way i can boost my signal thanks.

    if the card uses a standard screw-in antenna, you should be able to replace it
    i have a belkin wireless PCI card in three systems at home here, and i replaced all the antennae with some D-Link ones, i think they were

  • [MSI P35 Platinum] Graphics Card Slot

    Hello,
    I just bought the MSI 560 GTX graphics card. My motherboard is MSI P35 Platinum so i was wondering if i can place the graphics card in the 2nd PCI-E slot or this could occure problems. This is my motherboard:
    so my question is: can i put the graphics card in the YELLOW slot? Cause it won't fit in the upper PCI... Thanks  

    Quote from: Jack on 03-September-11, 19:12:09
    Why doesn't it fit?  It should fit without problems.
    Because of the I/O controller (i think this is it...)
    Quote from: Jack on 03-September-11, 19:12:09
    You can do that, however, in that slot, the video card will only get x4 lanes assigned to it (instead of x16 lanes in the primary PCI-Express slot).
    And what difference does this make?
